Thanks Vic!

Thanks again. Just want to play the game exactly as intended, without taking liberties.

actually something similar is in ROTR - after certain adventures, you're asked to remove certain cards from the game, not just banishing them. So if you were just playing the adventure by itself - you wouldn't do that.

Thanks.
That's all a bit clearer.

Yes I see the difference better between losing and death now. I guess if you / everyone dies, then you've no choice (strictly speaking) but to restart the whole thing. I play solo (ROTR) - so I've got more time to grind through again ;)

One thing that I'm still wondering about - in the rulebook it asks you at the start to decide if you're playing a scenario, an adventure or an adventure path - and place the relevant card on the table.
Why do so?
You could just play a scenario card every time, and progress to next if you win it. And if it happens to be the last in an adventure - then great, you've completed the adventure, and if that adventure happens to be the last, then great, you've completed the path.

This relates to my original question, if you had to decide beforehand scenario / adventure / path - then what are the consequences of that choice?

The way I would read this - is if I decide to take on a single scenario to grind out some better cards - and I lose the scenario - no problem, I wasn't on an adventure. But if I'm in the middle of an adventure and lose - then I would have to restart, I couldn't just replay the same scenario until I got through the adventure.

I'm trying to get clarification on what happens if you die or lose a scenario,

e.g. - If I decide that I'm just playing a single scenario, and lose - then I can just keep trying again and again, but if I am playing that scenario as part of an adventure and lose - then I have to restart the adventure from the beginning. Is that right? That would make sense..

further to that, if I decide to take on the full adventure path (6 adventures) and lose one of the adventures - then I have to restart the adventure path from the beginning ?

an extra related question...

if I add a new character to an existing party in the last scenario of an adventure - and win that scenario to complete the adventure, does that character get the adventure reward, even though he, by himself, hasn't completed the previous scenarios?

Thanks!
